Water Rights Related to Oil Shale Development in the Upper Colorado River Basin (open access)

Water Rights Related to Oil Shale Development in the Upper Colorado River Basin

Concerns over fluctuating oil prices and declining petroleum production worldwide have revived interest in oil shale as a potential resource. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58) identified oil shale as a strategically important domestic resource and directed the Department of the Interior to promote commercial development. Oil shale development would require significant amounts of water, however, and water supply in the Colorado River Basin, where several oil shale reserves are located, is limited. This report will provide a brief overview of water rights in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, including changes that may be made to currently held water rights and the possibility for abandonment of unused water rights.

Production and Briquetting of Carbonized Lignite

From Introduction: "The Bureau of Mines since its establishment has always taken an active interest in the utilization of lignite and in the development of the lignite deposits of the United States. Extensive lignite fields occur in the west central States, notably in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas; there are smaller areas in several other Sates, some of which are widely separated."

The Use of Permissible Explosives

From Preface: "The present bulletin is printed as a supplement to Bulletin 17 and is intended primarily for coal miners, especially for those working in fields where inflammable gas or coal dust may cause disastrous mine explosions. The bulletin is issued by the Bureau of Mines in the hope that it may prove helpful in lessening accidents due to the use of explosives, and in particular may aid in preventing mine explosions, many of which have been caused by the use of improper explosives."

Rock-Strata Gases of the Cripple Creek District, Colorado and Their Effect on Mining

From Introduction: "The presence in the Cripple Creek district, Colo., of irrespirable gas or gases, generally known to consist mainly of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, has been recognized by members of the mining industry in that region almost since underground mining was begun there; the occurrence origin, and possible control of these gases have been discussed in several articles cited at various places in this report. Similar gases have also been studied in other metal-mining districts, as later discussed."

Coal-Mine Accidents in the United States and Foreign Countries

From Introduction: "The lack of comparable and accurate statistics of coal-mine accidents in the united States as a whole led the Bureau of Mines in 1911 to undertake the collection of such data. The mining departments of the leading foreign coal-producing countries have long taken cognizance of the importance of statistics. The bureau feels that in presenting the tables embodied in this report it is offering the and comparable statistics of coal-min accidents for the country as a whole that have ever been published."

Recovery of Zinc from Low-Grade and Complex Ores (open access)

Recovery of Zinc from Low-Grade and Complex Ores

From Introduction: "Vocalization in retorts has been, until recently, the only commercial process of producing spelter, hence the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc smelters in regard to the following requirements: (1) Minimum percentage of zinc the ore must contain; (2) the chemical combination of the zinc in the ore; (3) the proportion present of those elements that interfere with the successful recovery of the zinc when the ore is retorted. As stated previously, and as will be shown later, a large part of the valuable mineral content of the ore is lost in effecting this concentration. As a result of the other requirements that have to be met in zinc smelting, much zinc is lost in the mining and milling of zinc ore."

Ft. Carson: Environmental Impacts MED-0004 Realign Inefficient Inpatient Functions

Disregard Header and Footer restrictions. This Medical JCSG proposal has 4 stationing actions that affect Army installations: 1. Disestablish the inpatient mission of the 10th Medical Group, USAF Academy, converting the hospital to a clinic with an ambulatory care center, and realign inpatient workload to Ft. Carson Army Hospital. 2. Disestablish the inpatient mission at Ft. Knox Medical Facility, converting the hospital to a clinic with an ambulatory care center. 3. Disestablish the inpatient mission at West Point's Medical facility, converting the hospital to a clinic with an ambulatory care center. 4. Disestablish the Ft. Eustis Medical facility. Medical workload transferred to Langley AFB, Portsmouth Naval Hospital and local civilian medical facilities. No MILCON is required to accomplish this recommendation as excess capacity is available in the receiving facilities. Ft. Eustis Medical Facility would be released for other activities.
